@alexmassie Fishing isn't fishermen only, you're missing out processors, engineers, haulage, policy/science etc. Forgetting it's a healthy food source, capable of sustaining a nation. You judge it on where it currently is, & not it's sustainable potential, ask Norway how important fishing is
It's National Fish & Chips Day. Sharing a few snaps of us doing our part to promote fish and chips over the years, and we always will! #fishandchips#nationalfishandchips
Jamie McGrigor was liked across political divides because of his character. He was a fine Hon President of the CFA & supported our fishing communities nobly. His after dinner speeches were much anticipated & always brought a smile. Thoughts are with his family & friends. R.I.P.
Touching documentary on Netflix about traditions of a Scottish Fishing Community in Eyemouth, it's the same across the country. We need to cherish heritage & not lose anymore of it to external pressures. It's who Fishing Communities are & have always been.

All at the CFA feel sadness to learn this news. Ross was an excellent colleague and a good man. He was very well respected in the Clyde and stood by it's fishing communities when they faced challenges. Our thoughts are with his family at this time. Rest in peace.
We are deeply saddened to share that Ross Dougal, Vice Patron of the Fishermen’s Mission and lifelong advocate for the fishing community, has passed away aged 73. Our heartfelt condolences go to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.
Yesterday, the @FisheriesAPPG hosted a parliamentary roundtable on recruitment and labour in UK #fishing. Part of an ongoing conversation, we heard from industry experts of challenges and steps needed on access, training, welfare, and fishing narratives. #FishingLivelihoods
